Mr Edwards has kept a online diary since 1997, which inadvertently has become one of the UK’s longest running blogs. Over the years, the diary has appeared on TV (BBC1’s arts programme, Imagine) and in various periodicals across the world, from the UK’s Select (RIP)toSweden’s Dagens Nyheter. In 2014 he was featured in the Guardian as one of Travis Elborough’s Top 10 Literary Diarists.

Mr Edwards was featured as one of the 57 modern dandies in I Am Dandy, a large format book featuring beautiful portraits by photographer Rose Callahan alongside written profiles by Nathaniel “Natty” Adams.

“…’El Hombre Indelible’ by Dickon Edwards has a wonky charm of its own….”
